1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Bohuai goat is a crossbreeding breed between Huai goat and Boer goat, which has higher meat yield and reproductive efficiency. To explore the genetic basis of these traits, we sequenced the whole genome of 289 samples from 8 Chinese local goat populations and Boer goats. Through variation detection and genetic diversity analysis, we identified 68,166,098 SNPs and assessed genetic diversity parameters such as nucleotide diversity, linkage disequilibrium, and homozygous regions (ROH). The analysis of population structure showed that there was a close genetic relationship between Bohuai goat and Boer goat, which was significantly different from that of Chinese native breeds. Fst, Pi_ratio and XPEHH methods were used to analyze the low reproduction rate population of Bohuai goat.. We found a strong selection in a region of BMPR1B on chr6, which may be associated with the high fertility of Bohuai goats and was also detected in the Vst. In addition, a CNVR fragment (GLIS3 gene) was found to be associated with spermatogenesis in the detection of CNV analysis. Our results provide insights for understanding the genetic diversity and selection of reproductive traits of Bohuai goats. They also offer evidence for the correlation between the BMPR1B gene and reproductive traits and provide information for molecular breeding strategies of other goat breeds.
